Arriving in the morning allowed for a good schedule for the trip to Taketomi Island at 1 PM.
Taketomi Island had a relaxed atmosphere. The water buffalo cart moves along at the pace of the water buffalo.
We walked through the town that I had seen on TV.
当日の午前中に到着するため、午後13時からの竹富島行きはスケジュール的に良かったです。
竹富島はのんびりとした雰囲気でした。

I participated with my sixth-grade son. We received notice the day before that we couldn't go to Barasu Island due to the waves, so we entered Iriomote Island with low spirits, but in the end, it was a tour that left both of us very satisfied with the active nature activities on Iriomote Island.
First, we explored the mangroves with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). We enjoyed the journey while observing rare plants and creatures, taking our own routes, and occasionally, the tour guide would fall in with a splash, which added to the fun. Fortunately, I didn't fall in, but I was sweating while paddling.
Then, we entered the river and walked towards the waterfall. The water temperature was cool, and it felt really nice. I completely forgot that my sunscreen would wash off as I got drenched under the waterfall, haha. Since Barasu Island was canceled, we were originally supposed to stop here, but we decided to join the canyoneering in the afternoon, which was arranged on short notice. We swam, slid, jumped into the river, and did some rock climbing. My son was overjoyed, saying this was the most fun part of the trip.
Although rain was forecasted for the day, we were blessed with good weather throughout, and we had a great time moving our bodies while fully enjoying the great outdoors. The guide was very friendly and lively, and he safely led us through the activities. He also took a lot of photos for us. Next time, I definitely want to participate with my husband and the whole family.
小六の息子と2人で参加しました。
波の影響でバラス島には行けないと前日連絡があり、
テンション低めで初の西表入りしましたが
結果、西表島のアクティブな自然遊びに親子共々大満足のツアーでした。
まずはSUPでマングローブ探検。
珍しい植物や生き物を眺めながら思い思いのルートでまわり、時々ツアーの方がドボンと落ちるなど楽しみながら進んでいきました。私は幸い?落ちなかったものの汗だくで漕ぎながら進みました。
そして途中から川に入って歩いて進み滝打ち。
水温も冷たく、すごく気持ちよかったです。
日焼け止めが取れることも忘れて滝に打たれまくりましたっ笑。
バラス島が中止になったので本来ここまでですが、
急遽ご案内いただいたキャニオリングに午後参加することに。川を泳いだり滑ったり飛び込んだり、ロッククライムしたり。これが息子的には1番この旅行で楽しかったと大喜びでした。
この日は雨予報でしたが終始お天気にも恵まれ、また大自然を満喫しながら心地よく身体を動かせとても楽しかったです。
ガイドの方もとても気さくで楽しく盛り上げ、そして安全に導いてくださりました。お写真もたくさん撮ってくださいました。
次回は是非、旦那さん含め家族全員で参加したいです。

On the day of the tour, there was a forecast for a typhoon, so I was worried about whether the ferry would run and if the tour would take place. However, it turned out to be a beautiful sunny day, and I was able to enjoy the tour in clear weather! They also informed us in advance by phone about what to do in case the ferry didn't operate.
We visited the mangroves and the limestone cave, and it was exciting to explore in nature rather than on a path prepared for the tour!
Since the limestone cave has narrow and low passages, it's better to wear clothes that expose less skin!
We couldn't go to the Phantom Island, so I will try again next time! (If you can't go to Phantom Island, you will be properly refunded for that part!)
当日は台風の予報が出ていてフェリーが出るか、ツアーは開催されるか?など心配でしたが、無事に晴れ、ツアー中は快晴の中楽しむことができました!フェリーが出ない場合の対応も事前に電話でお知らせしてくれました。
マングローブと鍾乳洞に行きましたが、ツアー用に整備された道ではなく、自然の中を探検できたのが刺激的でした!
鍾乳洞は、狭くて低いところも通るので、肌の露出が少ない格好の方がよいです!
幻の島には行けなかったのでまた次回挑戦します!(幻の島に行けない場合はその分ちゃんと返金されます!)

Due to the weather, we changed our course from snorkeling at Barasu Island without the cave to mangrove SUP and trekking at the Kura River. I'm glad we chose this course!
The water level was high, and Barasu Island was underwater, but the surrounding water was very clear, allowing us to enjoy snorkeling immensely. Miraculously, we were also able to see sea turtles up close, which was very satisfying!
SUP while viewing the mangroves up close was fantastic. Paddling through the narrow river while standing and sitting on the SUP felt like an attraction. It was my first time on a SUP, but I had no problems and enjoyed it. The waterfall we reached after trekking was also very beautiful and refreshing.
Overall, the schedule was relaxed, allowing us to take our time and enjoy taking photos. I really appreciated that.
The instructors were also very friendly, and thanks to them, it turned out to be the best day on Iriomote Island! I'm looking forward to the photos they took! Thank you so much for an amazing day!!!
天候の関係で、前日に鍾乳洞なしのバラス島シュノーケリング→クーラ川のマングローブSUP&トレッキングのコースへ変更しました。
このコースにして良かったです!
水位が高く、バラス島は海の中でしたが周辺は水の透明度が高くシュノーケリングをとても楽しめました。そして、奇跡的にウミガメも近くで見ることができて大満足でした!
マングローブを近くで見ながらSUPも最高でした。狭い川をSUPで立ったり座ったりしながら進んで、なんだかアトラクションのようでした。初めてのSUPでしたが、問題なく楽しめました。トレッキングをして辿り着いた滝もとっても綺麗で心が洗われました。
全体的にゆとりのあるスケジュールを組んでくれているので、ゆっくり写真を撮ったりしながら楽しめました。ありがたかったです。
そして、インストラクターさん達もとても親しみやすく、お陰様で最高の西表島での1日になりました!!撮ってくださった写真も楽しみです!本当に本当に1日ありがとうございました!!!

On July 29, 2020, my daughter, who was supposed to come from Tokyo, had to cancel due to COVID-19 restrictions, so I traveled alone from the countryside. When I landed at Uehara Port on Iriomote Island, several guides were there to greet us, and I immediately recognized the one holding the "PIPI" sign. After taking a wagon to the estuary, we received a briefing and started the experience. The equipment included a lightweight life jacket and thick-soled marine shoes.
Paddling while admiring the mangroves and trekking to swim in the waterfall was a sensation that you can't experience on TV or YouTube.
Our guide, Chad (Komatsu), allowed us to discover the unique creatures and plants of Iriomote at every turn. Chad is a young man with a dark complexion, a striking face, and a refreshing vibe. I was impressed by his professionalism, ensuring we had fun without feeling pressured! I definitely want to participate again next time with my children. This time, there were three pairs with us, but even as a solo participant, I thoroughly enjoyed the great outdoors.
Also, it seems that being prepared to get wet will enhance the enjoyment of this tour. A sense of happiness awaits as you float while soaking in the negative ions at the final waterfall.
Due to space constraints, I omitted some details, but I also had a fantastic time snorkeling at Barasu Island. I even saw a sea turtle! Practicing snorkeling at the beach the day before was somewhat helpful.
2020年7月29日
東京から来る筈だった娘がコロナ自粛となり、地方からの1人旅。
西表島の上原港に上陸すると、ガイドさんが何人も出迎えていますが、「PIPI」の看板を持っていてすぐ分かります。ワゴンに乗って河口に着くと、講習を受けて体験スタート。装備は、軽量のライフジャケットと厚底のマリンシューズ。
マングローブを眺めながらパドルを漕いだり、トレッキングして滝つぼで泳ぐ体験は、TVやYouTubeでは味わえない快感です。
ガイドのチャドさん(小松さん)は、西表ならでは生き物や植物の発見を至る所で体験させてくれました。
チャドさんは、色黒・濃い顔・爽やか系の好青年。無理させず、安心して楽しませてくれるプロ意識に感心!これなら次回、子どもと参加したいと思えます。今回はペア3組と一緒でしたが、1人参加でも大自然の前では関係なく満喫できました。
それとこのツアー、濡れる覚悟で参加した方が楽しめそう。最後の滝つぼでマイナスイオン浴びながら浮かぶ幸せが待っているから。
文字数の都合で割愛しましたが、バラス島のシュノーケリングもすごく楽しめました。海ガメも見れたし。前日にビーチでシュノーケル練習したのが、少しは役立ちました。
Thank you for participating in the tour with Iriomote Island ADVENTURE PiPi! I was very happy as a guide to capture the moments of you enjoying the great nature of Iriomote Island, including encounters with mangroves and sea turtles!

I was informed the day before that due to tide conditions, we wouldn't be able to see Baras Island floating on the sea, and that we couldn't explore the limestone caves, which made me feel disappointed. However, instead, we were able to stand in the water and snorkel around Baras Island, and we were lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle, which turned out to be a fortunate experience.
The person in charge shared various stories during the transfer, and their good nature really shone through. They also took many photos for us. The boat we traveled on was clean and comfortable as well.

This was my fifth time visiting Ishigaki Island, with a total stay of about 60 days. This time, I joined a tour with seven friends (four men and three women).
Until now, I preferred to travel on my own, avoiding package tours, but I really regret that decision. The professionals truly make a difference. I believe this tour is essential for anyone traveling to Ishigaki!
What I liked about pipi:
1. The personality of the guides was outstanding. The SUP guide was Kurita, and the snorkeling guide was Saito. Both were handsome, refreshing, and had great personalities, making the tour enjoyable and fun. They were also very knowledgeable, and it was great to listen to them.
2. They take photos for you. They are very accommodating and take pictures while also directing you to photogenic spots. If you request to take a group photo at a specific location, they respond flexibly.
3. They provide support beyond the tour. They shared recommendations for spots and shops after the tour, which showed their thoughtfulness.
What I liked about the SUP/snorkeling tour:
- Many participants were not good swimmers or had no experience with SUP, but everyone had a great time.
- Iriomote Island had beautiful coral, making it a magical experience. If you bring a GoPro for snorkeling, you'll enjoy it even more.
Thank you so much!
石垣島は5回目、総滞在60日くらい。
今回は、友達7名(男性4人/女性3人)でのツアー。
今まで、自分で切り開く旅が好きだったので、
パッケージツアーを避けてきたのですが、とても後悔しました。
本当に、やっぱりプロは違うなと。
石垣の旅にこのツアーは必須だと思います!
pipiのよかったところ
1. ガイドさんの人柄が最高でした。
SUPはくりちゃん(クリタさん)。シュノーケリングはサイトウさん。
2人ともイケメンで、爽やかで、人柄がよく、
気持ちよく、楽しくツアーを楽しめました。
知識も豊富で、話を聞くのがよかったです。
2. 写真を撮ってくれる
かなり融通を効かせながら、写真を撮ってくれます。
ただ撮ってくれるだけではなく、
映えスポットを見つけてはディレクションしてくれますし、
「集合写真をこのポイントで撮りたい」と要望すると、
柔軟に答えてくれます。
3. ツアー以外のところもフォローしてくれる
おすすめのスポットやお店など、
ツアー後にシェアしてくれる心配りもありました

・西表島は、サンゴがとても綺麗だったので、
幻想的でした。
シュノーケリングは、GoProを持って行く方が楽しめます。

The weather was perfect with clear skies all day! However, it seemed that it was a day when Barasu Island didn't make an appearance, so we couldn't land... (._.) It was disappointing, but I appreciated the advance notice we received the day before. There is definitely a difference in feeling between being informed on the day and the day before.
I was told by the tour guide on Ishigaki Island the day before, "Iriomote Island has a large protected area, so you can't really enter without a guide!" so it was a good decision to book this tour in advance☆
The day's itinerary included exploring a limestone cave followed by mangrove SUP. Honestly, the limestone cave was as expected (^^; My husband had been to Akiyoshido in Yamaguchi Prefecture, and I had been to Gama in Okinawa, so the impact of that experience was stronger. It might be good for those who are visiting a limestone cave for the first time.
Inside the limestone cave, I was surprised by how much water we had to wade through (it might vary by day, but on this day it was about waist-deep) (゚д゚)! Also, the water in the cave is not colorless and transparent, so those who are particular about cleanliness might feel uneasy. I recommend wearing a rash guard instead of a T-shirt since you might get a bit dirty.
It was my first time doing mangrove SUP, but after the briefing, I was able to stand up and paddle right away, and it was incredibly fun! We passed through some relatively rugged areas, so I ended up kneeling or sitting partway through. It was easier than standing the whole time^^ I was super excited when a ray swam by right after we started ☺☆彡
Our guide, Kurizawa, answered questions about the plants and insects we encountered during the tour, as well as about Iriomote Island. He took many photos with a waterproof camera and sent them to us via LINE the same day, and I was happy to see how beautifully they turned out☆ Thank you for the recommended gourmet information about Ishigaki Island!
As others have mentioned, if you're doing a day trip, you might have to wait quite a while after the tour depending on the boat schedule. We also waited about an hour and a half while having lunch. Additionally, since this tour includes transportation to Uehara Port, it might be a bit difficult for those who want to visit Yufu Island as a day trip due to time and location constraints. It seems it takes about an hour by car from Uehara Port to Ohara Port, which is convenient for sightseeing in Yufu Island.
I deducted one star since we couldn't go to Barasu Island, but overall it was a satisfying tour. It seems that the tour fee for not being able to go to Barasu Island will be refunded later◎
Thank you very much (^^)/~~~
天気に恵まれて1日中快晴!でしたが、タイミング悪くバラス島が現れない日だったようで上陸できず...(._.)残念でしたが、前日に予めご連絡をいただけたのはありがたかったです。やはり当日伝えられるのと前日伝えられるのとでは気持ち的にも違いますね。
「西表島は保護されている区域が広いからガイドがいないとなかなか入れないよ~!」と前日石垣島のツアーガイドの方に伺い、今回申し込んでおいて正解でした☆
当日の流れは、鍾乳洞探検→マングローブSUP。正直、鍾乳洞は期待通りだったかなぁ(^^;夫は山口県の秋芳洞、私は沖縄本島のガマ(西表島の鍾乳洞と沖縄本島のガマを比べてはいけませんが…。)へ入ったことがあったので、そのときの衝撃の方が強かったようです。鍾乳洞自体初めてという方には良いのでは。
鍾乳洞内では想像以上に水に浸かりびっくり(日によって違うのかもしれませんがこの日は腰くらい)(゚д゚)!また、鍾乳洞の水は無色透明ではないので潔癖な人は抵抗があるかもしれません。多少汚れるのでTシャツよりラッシュガード着用をおすすめします。
マングローブSUPは初めてでしたが、レクチャー後すぐに立って漕ぐことができてめちゃくちゃ楽しかったです!わりと険しいところを通るので途中からは膝立ちor着座の姿勢。ずっと立っているより楽でした^^スタート直後にエイがスイーっと泳いでいったのには大興奮☺☆彡
ガイドの栗澤さんはツアー中に遭遇する植物や昆虫についてはもちろん、西表島のこと、参加者の質問に丁寧に答えてくださいました。防水カメラでたくさん撮影してくれ、その日のうちにLINEでいただきましたがキレイに撮れていて嬉しかったです☆石垣島のおすすめグルメ情報もありがとうございました!
他の方が書かれていた通り、日帰りの場合は船の時間によっては終了後かなり待ちます。私たちもお昼ご飯を食べつつ1時間半くらい待ちました。また、こちらのツアーは上原港までの送迎のため、ツアーついでに日帰りで由布島へ行きたい方は時間と場所的に少し難しいかもしれません。※上原港から由布島観光に便利な大原港までは車で1時間程かかるようです。
バラス島へ行けなかったので★をひとつ減らしましたが、全体的には満足のいくツアーでした。※バラス島へ行けなかった分のツアー代は後日返金いただけるようです◎
ありがとうございました(^^)/~~~

Unfortunately, the weather was bad, so we decided to return by glass boat and water buffalo. Since it was a 2:30 tour, we didn't have much time, but it was nice to experience the townscape with the water buffalo. However, I feel like once is enough. I think it would be better to enjoy it more leisurely with just adults.
あいにくの天気だったので、グラスボートと水牛で帰る事にしました。
2時半のツアーだったので、時間ももともとなく水牛で街並みを体験できたのでとりあえず良かったかな。
でも、一度行けばいいかなという感じです。大人だけでのんびりという方がいいかなと感じました。

It's something that can't be helped since it's a natural occurrence. The tide was high, so Barasu Island wasn't accessible, and we switched to a different half-day course. That said, exploring the limestone caves and stand-up paddleboarding in the mangrove forest was enjoyable.
自然のことなのでどうにもなりません。潮位が高くバラス島が出てこなかったので、別の半日コースに変わりました。と言いつつも、鍾乳洞探索やマングローブ林のSUPは楽しかったです。

It was a combination of a bus tour and a water buffalo cart tour. The guide shared a lot of information about Taketomi Island. I was the only person, but they kindly offered, "Shall I take your picture?"
バス観光と水牛車観光のセットでした。どちらもガイドさんが沢山竹富島のことを教えてくれました。お一人様は私だけでしたが、「お写真お撮りしましょうか?」など声をかけていただき親切でした。

We had a great time experiencing stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) while almost falling into the mangroves with four people! Chad's friendly guidance made it very enjoyable! The snorkeling was the best I've ever seen, with beautiful fish. The coral was also stunning, and I was so happy to see the clownfish! We were able to do so many activities in just one day!
SUPでマングローブの中を落ち掛けながら4人で楽しく体験できました(^^)
チャドさんのガイドがフレンドリーでとても楽しく過ごせました!
シュノーケルは今までで1番きれいに魚が見えました
珊瑚も綺麗でカクレクマノミも見れたので嬉しかったです♡
盛り沢山の体験が1日でできました!
Thank you for participating in the tour with Iriomote Island ADVENTURE PiPi!
I sincerely apologize for the situation regarding Barasu Island. Recently, Barasu Island has become smaller, and the timing of the tides did not align, which I am truly sorry for. However, I am really glad to hear that you were able to enjoy the great nature of Iriomote Island through canoeing and canyoning!
We look forward to your return for a chance to redeem your visit to Barasu Island!

バラス島の件は、最近のバラス島が小さい上、潮目のタイミングが合わず、大変申し訳ございませんでした。その分カヌー&キャニオニングで西表島の大自然を楽しんでいただけたようで本当に良かったです!
ぜひまたバラス島のリベンジお待ちしております!

We had our first SUP experience with three women. The guide taught us carefully. It looked difficult, but it was really easy, and everyone quickly got the hang of it, enjoying the mangroves to the fullest!
During snorkeling, we even got to see a sea turtle! However, for those who are prone to motion sickness, I recommend taking anti-nausea medication in advance.
Thank you to the guides! 😊
女性3人で初SUP体験。
ガイドさんが丁寧に教えてくれました。
難しそうに見えたけど、とっても簡単で、みんなすぐに乗りこなし、マングローブを大満喫できました!
シュノーケルでは、ウミガメにも会えました〜!
但し、酔いやすい方は、酔い止め薬を事前に飲むことをおすすめします。
ガイドの方々、ありがとうございました(^ ^)
Thank you for participating in the tour with Iriomote Island ADVENTURE PiPi.
Great job on the snorkeling at Barasu Island and the SUP experience in the mangroves.
How was your first mangrove SUP experience?
You seemed to enjoy various positions, lying down and sitting on the SUP in the mangrove tunnel, and I had a lot of fun too!

I had planned to visit four islands, but due to COVID, I couldn't go to one island and changed my plan to visit three islands instead. Fortunately, the weather was great, and the tour was very fulfilling, making it a wonderful memory. I participated alone, but it was not a problem at all. I would like to use this service again.
4島巡りを予定していましたが、コロナのため、1島行けず、3島巡りに予定変更しました。幸いにも天候に恵まれ、またツアーの中身も中身も充実していて、とても良い思い出となりました。一人で参加でしたが、全く問題ありません。また利用したいと思います。

Originally, it was a tour to land on Baras Island, but I was informed the day before that it couldn't happen due to the tides. It was disappointing, but the tour company's response was good. I changed to a canoeing and canyoning tour, and I was able to fully enjoy nature, with our guide Chad really making it fun. I recommend it for creating enjoyable memories.
もともとバラス島上陸のツアーでしたが、潮の関係でできないと前日に連絡。
残念でしたが、ツアー会社の対応はよかったです。
カヌーとキャニオニングのツアーに変更しましたが、自然を満喫でき、ガイドのチャドさんも盛り上げてくれました。
楽しい思い出作りにはおすすめです。

I participated in a cave and canoe tour! We visited three caves, but the last one was particularly exciting as we had to navigate through a very narrow passage that was almost horizontal! The canoeing was the most fun part of this trip; while paddling in sync with my companions amidst breathtaking scenery, we also ended up crashing into the mangroves, making it a thrilling adventure! I highly recommend it if you come to Iriomote Island!
鍾乳洞とカヌーに参加しました!
鍾乳洞は3箇所回りましたが、特に最後の鍾乳洞はほぼ横ばいになるくらい狭いところを通ってエクサイティングでした!
カヌーは今回の旅行で一番楽しくて、絶景の中同伴者と息を合わせながら漕ぎつつも、マングローブに突っ込んでしまったりと、ハラハラドキドキのツアーでした!!
西表島に来たらオススメです!!

The weather was great, and in the first, second, and even the third limestone cave, sunlight streamed in, allowing us to take unexpectedly beautiful photos, which got me really excited!

I applied for the experience based on reviews and Instagram. From the images, I thought it was too beautiful to be true. However, when I got there, the stunning scenery was right in front of me. I was able to enjoy the most breathtaking view of my life.
口コミやインスタグラムを参考に体験を申し込みました。画像を見る限り、あまりにも美しすぎるので、これは嘘だと思っていました。しかし、現場に行ってみたら美しすぎる景色がそこには広がっていました。今までの人生の中で一番の絶景が堪能できました。
